20 Reasons to Spend Your Day on the Bay!

Imagine starting your morning with coffee by the water, discovering a new favorite boutique, savoring a simply delicious meal al fresco, making a stop for a sweet cone, and ending the day with sunset sips along the Bay.

At The Village Shops, this isn’t a special occasion, it’s just another day on the Bay! We could think of 100+ reasons to love it here, but in honor of today being the 20th of February, here are 20 reasons you simply must visit our Jewel of Naples.

 

  1. A Grand Entrance

Tucked just off US41 at Park Shore Drive and Gulf Shore Blvd, your day gets even better the moment you arrive at The Village Shops. Palm-lined paths, Venetian Bay views, and that instant “I’m in paradise” feeling!

 

  1. Waterfront Walkways that Wow!

During the day, The Village is beautifully on display, then experience the glowing green waters after sunset. Day or night, you’ll love soaking in the sights!

 

  1. Dolphin Sightings

Thanks to our artificial reef (215 reef balls and 4,300 cubic yards of riprap), marine life is thriving. Keep an eye over the railing because the dolphins are making daily appearances.

 

  1. Al Fresco Dining

Lunch, brunch, happy hour, or dinner…everything tastes better on the waterfront! Breezes off the Bay, sunset skies, and front-row water views make every meal memorable.

 

  1.  Green Lights at Night

With 50 underwater lights illuminating the reef, the Bay transforms into a real-life aquarium after dark. It’s just as magical below the surface as above it.

 

  1. Endless Bite Options on the Bay

From fresh seafood and Italian favorites to steakhouse classics and casual cuisine, six waterfront restaurants mean something delicious for every craving.

  1. Sculptures Around Every Corner

Add a little art to your stroll and don’t miss the chance to admire five striking sculptures by the late Raymond Lutgert — beloved developer of Park Shore, philanthropist, and talented sculptor. His work can be found all around The Village Shops.

 

  1. Entrees That Will Keep You Coming Back

At The Village, everyone has a favorite dish but narrowing it down is the hard part with endless options to decide from.

 

  1. Two Sides to Explore

North or south, you can’t go wrong. Connected by a waterfront walkway and signature tunnel, both sides offer shopping, dining, services, and stunning views.
